Thought this was going to be on a character similar to Emperor Norton or the guy who tried to be elected king during the great depression. Happy to be wrong.
Fascinating how close we came to being ruled by a monarchy. Its hard enough to realize there were other monarchies based in the Western Hemisphere (Brazil and Mexico), harder to imagine one in America
I'd love to talk about the other American monarchies at some point. I known more about Mexico then Brazil though (I do know a little about Pedro II but that is it). If someone can recommend some good books/sources on Brazil I'd love to take a look at it. My Portuguese history is very weak to be honest.
George III The Treaty of Paris, A.D 1783 recognized him as Arch-Treasurer and Prince Elector of the United States of America . George Washington was President of the United States of America & he only had the Great lakes for only 3 years until he died in 1799. George III Was also by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, Elector of Hanover, Arch Treasurer, and Prince of the Sacred Roman Empire etc... And the United States of America. Spanish, French, British, and American representatives signed this provisional peace treaty on January 20, 1783, proclaiming an end to hostilities. The formal agreement was signed at Paris on September 3, 1783.
Did you know Prince Edward Duke of Kent lived in Quebec City and Michigan territory was under the English monarchy with a English Prince in North America. (Known as the Prince of Quebec)from 1791-1793 this was when Michigan territory was a part of Ontario / Quebec and a member of Parliament.This was also when George Washington was president of the United States , Michigan territory was a part of Quebec at the same time. Detroit was transferred to Quebec under the Quebec Act of 1774 . It was then the third-largest city in the Province of Quebec, after Montreal and Quebec. 1792 Detroit, including settlements on both sides of the river, holds its first election, sending three representatives to the Parliament of Upper Canada. The Act Against Slavery, 1793, an anti-slavery act passed in Upper Canada. The Act was created partially in response to Loyalist refugees who brought slaves with them. Michigan Territory was a part of Upper Canada from 1790-1796 Under British rule Michigan remained a part of Canada. And again in August 1812- Until September 1813 During the war of 1812 or known as the Anglo-American war when Col/general Proctor was temporary governor of Michigan territory. The British retained control of Detroit and Michigan after the American Revolution. When Quebec split into Lower and Upper Canada in 1791, Michigan was part of Kent County, Upper Canada. It held its first democratic elections in August 1792 to send delegates to the new provincial parliament at Newark (now Niagara-on-the-Lake).
you are so so so so under-rated! keep it up, these longer videos are my joy! So obvious you put the effort in! hope the algorithm smiles on you soon :)
I was hesitant because I don't like to do "trendy" videos during their peak popularity (because I'm a curmudgeonly contrarian), but I'm open to now that their popularity has died off. I don't which I'd do though so I'm open to recommendations for ones that have not been covered to death. I did see a Steely Dan iceberg, but I didn't find it that interesting and I plan at getting back around to Steely Dan eventually. I was thinking about making one on the author Cormac McCarthy so we'll if I make a video on that. Those are just my thoughts!
@@Pseudiom Cool, thanks for the reply man. I appreciate it. I would suggest some videos, but you never know what you'll be inspired to make a long form video on, and what you won't. Something you know about extensively would probably be kino viewing though.
I've always found the idea of an American Monarchy fascinating! Even those outside the US, like the ones in Mexico, Brazil, and the theoretical possible monarchies that could have happened in the Americas. (Such as a House of Montezuma restoration, Haitian Black King, a Bourbon Quebec, ETC.) I blame Dune with it's oblique reference to the House of Washington for this.
There probably some unexamined link between the popularity of Dune and modern Monarchist movements. I like Dune because it was the book that introduced me to the term "Landesherr". Future and past are equally strange I suppose.
@@Pseudiom I could make an entire channel dedicated to Dune! I can see that among an older crowd who read it back in the day. Kids these days, who are down with the crown, probably got into int the same way other young people have been introduced to wild fringe ideas, the internet.
Just to add to the enmity between Frederick the Great and Great Britain, while Britain’s scheming in Continental Europe was getting old, the bigger issue Frederick had was that when Prussia was in its darkest moments between 1760 and 1762, Britain, who had been contributing good sized chunks of money to help Prussia continue their war aims, basically stopped sending him money. By this point, Britain had basically achieved all her goals in the Seven Years’ War against France and it was time to go to the negotiating table and make their gains official. Hastening these matters, George II died in 1760 and was replaced by his grandson, George III. He, unlike the two Georges before him, had no love for his Electorate (later Kingdom) of Hanover and saw Prussia as an unwanted drain on his resources. Frederick, who could really only watch in horror at the end of 1761 as the Russians secured a reliable supply line into Prussia via the Pomeranian coastline, felt utterly and completely betrayed.
@@sbrown480 No. I'm not a very big fan of Discord and just don't have the time to manage one unfortunately. I'm not opposed to fans making ones (or other things like reddits and such), but I'm not going to endorse anything. Someone once told me they were going to make a fan reddit page, but I don't know what everhappened with that. I do try to respond to everyone on Twitter or in e-mail though.
Buddy, nothing against you, but I hope you don't grow too big. Your content is great, but I feel that if you'd grow too fast you'd feel pressure to overproduce your videos and they'd lose their charm. Wishing you good growth though, you deserve the attention. Cheers!

Always like to suprise.

@Pseudiom Your next history video should be on the empire of Brazil.

If someone can recommend some good books/sources on Brazil I'd love to take a look at it. My Portuguese history is very weak to be honest.
It could said that some native governments were equivalent to monarchies as well
@@DriftedVisionMan i mean there was the aztecs and incas but im more refering to european stylings of monarchies in the modern day

I love all the quotes you add in, it’s more than some other creators put in and I just live for that kind of stuff
I'm happy then! I 'm never sure how the quotes come across in video.
Great work! always love seeing lesser known parts of history getting the spotlight for a moment.
Wait, this isn't the review of 'Coming to America 2' I was looking for!
you are so so so so under-rated! keep it up, these longer videos are my joy! So obvious you put the effort in! hope the algorithm smiles on you soon :)
You should consider doing some sort of "iceberg" video. I think you'd be fantastic at it.

Seems to me that having John Quincy head an investigation into the possibility of monarchist conspiracies among Federalists would be questionable
The ghostly throne of an America that was not.
The perfect king for that crown of smoke and doubt would have been Napoleon II, another ghost king.
L'Aiglon.
Always happy to see another video!
Thank you for watching!

I thought the central bank is our KIng?
Completely not a commentary on recent events and collective fancies.
A lot of my videos end up like that. I don't do it on purpose. Always just something in the air.

The history of USA gets weirder everyday.
This is why I take the neo reactionary position. Democracy will eventually lead to the lowest common denominator. Especially under liberalism.
